Torna volta...Ndi bwerera
Well its the home stretch, winding down here at Smartcareland and weeks away from the start of my close of service trip, to try and leave the region in some form of blissful ambivalence. What to say, well Zambia has rocked as expected, maybe not as much as Cape Verde, but sufficient and variable. Details, buy me a pitcher of IPA once I get back around. The work here and life in Lusaka has definitely had a "readjusting to Western Civ" vibe to it, for good or for evil. Insightful too, the workings, gears, and turnings of the industry. No doubt the year I wanted. So should be a fluid transition back to the Bay Area. The plan has remained solid since departing CV. Nice overpriced flat in Berkeley/Oakland or Santa Cruz, University of Cal job or anything else interesting that comes up. Not to say there is zero temptation to continue IT work in Africa, or the developing world, but for now, a future point in time, and under different auspices.
Anyway really amped for my COS trip. Overlanding through a loop of Southern Africa starting at Joberg, into Mozambique, down the coast to Cape Town, up into Namibia and then back over to Zambia to catch my flight home. Going tour-herded, considered independent but the logistics work out better for a bit more money. Should be spectacular. Back to Cali in December, seeya then.
